    摘要: A hands-free cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidance method (40) for a system including a head-mountable computing device (100) comprising a processor (110) and at least one display module (106, 106′) arranged to be viewed by the wearer (20) of the head-mountable computing device when wearing the device is disclosed that allows a rescuer to receive CPR guidance without losing sight of the victim. The method comprises receiving (420), on said processor, a first signal conveying vital signs information from at least one sensor (200, 210) for monitoring vital signs of a patient (10), wherein a sensor (210) of the at least one sensor is integrated in the head-mountable computing device (100); processing said first signal on said processor to obtain the vital signs information; and displaying (422) CPR guidance on said at least one display module in response to the processed vital signs information. A computer program product and a CPR guidance system are also disclosed. The system may be created in situ using ubiquitous devices, e.g. smart devices including usable sensors, thus facilitating rapid response to an SCA event, which improves the chances of survival of a SCA victim.

    摘要: Provided is a system for correcting a sweat analyte measurement for temperature. The system comprises a sweat collector (106) for collecting sweat from skin (102). The collected sweat is drawn from the sweat collector to an outlet (110) via a capillary (108). The sweat is drawn through the capillary by capillary action and evaporation of the sweat from the outlet. The evaporation of the sweat from the outlet depends on the temperature. A flow sensor (112) measures a flow rate of the sweat being drawn through the capillary. An analyte sensor (114) obtains the sweat analyte measurement. The system further comprises a controller which is configured to determine a temperature from the measured flow rate. The sweat analyte measurement is then corrected using the determined temperature. Further provided is a method for correcting a temperature-dependent sweat analyte measurement

    摘要: The invention provides a positive airway pressure therapy system comprising a positive pressure generation unit, adapted to generate a positive pressure airflow for provision to a subject, and an oscillatory pressure generation unit adapted to modulate the positive pressure airflow at a modulation frequency thereby imparting a frequency component to the positive pressure air flow. The oscillatory pressure generation unit is adapted to modulate the airflow during an exhalation phase of a breathing cycle of the subject.

    摘要: Various methods and apparatus disclosed herein relate to apparatus and techniques for harvesting energy from operation of a syringe, and utilizing that energy for various purposes. In various embodiments, a method (400) for harvesting and using electrical energy during operation of a syringe (100, 300) may include: operating (402) the syringe, wherein operating includes displacing a plunger (112) of the syringe to draw fluid into a reservoir (114) of the syringe or expel fluid from the reservoir of the syringe; converting (404), by an electrical generator (120, 122) that is integral with the syringe, motion associated with displacing the plunger into electrical energy; and using (406) at least some of the electrical energy to at least temporarily store, in a memory component (136) integral with the syringe, one or more data points associated with operation of the syringe.
